Chapter 18
Unlike before, this song, Jun and the others felt more good about this song as they were given almost equal parts, with slightly Jun more but it's way better than the last one at the very least. Even though they didn't complain last time, in their hearts, the four of them did feel jealous of Jun getting the most parts, although they still know it's because of the nature of the song.
By the evening, they were able to memorize the lines and lyrics of the song perfectly. Hearing them singing the given parts made Sujin, frown a little bit and she changed parts a little, cutting down HaeSeong and Minho parts and gave them to Dohyun and Jun. After finally getting satisfied, she nodded with a smile, "ok, perfect. Now, go and rest for today. Tomorrow, be at the recording studio, sharp 8 A.M."
All of them bowed and returned to their apartment. Minho got a little bit depressed but since he's a rapper, the vocal parts didn't suit him greatly. Still, since he has his own unique parts of the song where he can stand out, he was satisfied with it.
The next day, they went through the same h.e.l.lish recording again. At 11 o'clock in the evening, as they reached home, everyone just collapsed on the sofa. Dohyun spoke, "no doubt about it. She's the devil's incarnation. I was never tired this
After chatting for a while, Jun stood up, "I and my throat were very tired today. I'm going to sleep. Good night guys." Everyone also replied, "Good night, Hyung."
The next day evening, Jun got a call from the Chairman to be at their training room by Sharp 7 A.M. and they will be having basic lessons of acting, the whole day. And then, they will proceed to shooting, the following day. After informing everyone else, the next morning, five of them excitedly went to their training room before the time and waited for acting coach.
Half an hour later, a middle-aged man in his later 40s entered the training room. Looking at him, as Jun wondered who he is, Minsu whispered, "guys, he's that famous politician from that TV series, right?" Minho replied, "Prime minister, Minsu." Dohyun asked them, "Do you guys know him? Is he an actor? I don't see TV dramas." Minsu whispered, "how can you know not know him? It's the most popular TV drama last year."
While Jun is wondering what they are talking about, the actor cleared his throat, "I'm your acting coach, Ka Gun. Now, without wasting any more time, shall we get into it?" Then, he pointed at Jun and said, "Handsome, tall, and hazel eyes. You must be Sungjun, right?" As Jun nodded, he looked at others and then pointed at each unique feature in their appearance, like Minho's very changing hairstyle, or HaeSeong's body, etc...
Ka Gun began to teach them a very basic thing of facial expressions, body language, during photo shoots, recording and before the media and audience, things like that, etc... And made them practice them over and over again. What surprising here is to everyone including Jun himself is that he was a good actor, which he never knew he had that talent. Ka Gun, who didn't know about Jun's singing skills, even sighed for a moment and thought, "he should've been scouted for the acting department, instead. Anyway, he's still young. Lots of idols act in TV dramas these days, anyway. I should inform the Chairman about it."
As the day of practice over, and they reached their apartment, Jun sleep on his bed and thought in confusion, "my acting talent is good? I even have a talent to become an actor? But I never acted before though. I guess old Jun must have this hidden talent. If I have such talent, I want to see how many points I have. Aria, Let me enter the mind s.p.a.ce."
Just then, his outside body fell unconscious on his bed while his consciousness appeared in the s.p.a.ce before the animated little fairy. As she waved her hand, Jun smiled, "h.e.l.lo, Aria. I want to know how much talent I have in acting. Can I see it?" Aria shook her head, "no, you have to buy it with mission points when Skill store opens."
Jun asked, "Skill store?" Aria nodded, "just like music and video, you can buy various skills and then develop your talents through missions, and by the way, to clear your confusion, old Jun didn't have acting talent. The system forced enough talent on your body to make sure you can fool the world that you are the old Jun.
That's why, along with the memories, Jun's emotions and his will are also transferred to your body. Despite having your own personality, you can't help but love whatever he loves and hates whatever he hates. You will treat his family as yours and you will also feel his crushes/lovers as yours."
Jun chuckled, "well, I'm lucky that he doesn't have the latter, then. Anyway, this explains everything I'm going through, whether it concerns the family or whether it concerns my hardworking nature. By the way, Aria, I didn't see any skill store." Aria replied, "You'll have to wait until your debut."
Jun nodded, "thank you, Aria. I'll be going. See ya." Aria waved her hands, "see ya. Good luck." His consciousness returned to his body and he woke up. Then, he again closed his eyes and went to sleep.
